Description
Photograph of factory workers placing tires into molds, ca.1930. At center a factory worker is visible from the side removing a tire from a large circular mold. The worker is visible wearing soiled overalls, an apron, gloves, and a cap. Four molds are visible spaning from the left towards the center. To the right of the molds is a second worker who is looking at tires suspended from what appear to be large metal hooks. Photoprint reads: "Man at right is removing an uncured tire from the conveyor line and will place it in the mold to take the place of a tire just removed".
